Flow Analysis during On-line and Radial Injection Applications in Permeability Measurements

In this study, a simple technique for revealing the key parameters (permeability, front-end kinetics) of the RTM process is developed. The variations in permeability during the technique lift the capillary effect, which is modeled for two configurations. The analysis of the front-end kinetics helps to identify the permeability tensor. The examination of the capillary number gives evidence of a non-saturated zone, characterized by a critical length.
